We recently tried Pizza Studio, a chain that was founded in Los Angeles three years ago.  Pizza Studio now has over 30 locations nationwide, with aggressive plans for expansion. The company is listed as number 29 on Forbes' list of most promising companies. We ventured to Pizza Studio's Bronx, New York location to see how it is.   SEE ALSO: This pizza chain founded by a former Starbucks executive is blowing up FOLLOW US: On Twitter We arrived at Pizza Studio's Bronx location just around lunchtime. It's located right cross the street from Fordham University. Fast-casual restaurants often set up near college campuses, where students seek affordable options. Upon entering, we're greeted with the alluring smell of freshly-baked pizza. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere — similar to a Chipotle — with subtle background music and simple modern decor. We approached the line and weighed our options. For $7.99, customers can create their own personal pizza from scratch. That's an appealing price for an 11-inch pizza.
